# `flow/run/answers` Source: [`src/flow/run/answers.ts`](https://github.com/AI-for-dev/combo/blob/main/src/flow/run/answers.ts) A dry run's script: the answers that stand in for each agent turn, each check's script run, each commit and each question, checked against the flow before the first one is taken. A key is a node's address (`gate/ask`) or an exact visit path (`deliver#2/gate/ask`), the path winning. Its value is one answer, which serves every attempt, or a list, consumed attempt by attempt within the enclosing path, so each item of a `map` has its own list and a loop's iterations share one. A list is always a list of answers, so a node whose output is a list is answered inside one: `[["a", "b"]]`. An answer is an output, the `verdict` call of a `verdict:` node, a check's `{ passed, report }`, a commit's `{ committed, sha?, branch }`, an ask's output, or `{ fail: }`. An ask's `nobody` and `timeout` take the node's real path, its `default:` or its `enough:` included, and its `stopped` is the card declined. A `flow` node is answered whole with its callee's output or `{ fail: "child" }`, or walked into by keys under it, never both. ## `AnswerFault` *type* ```typescript export type AnswerFault = { /** Which of {@link ANSWER_CODES}. */ readonly code: (typeof ANSWER_CODES)[number]; /** The key of `answers` it is about. */ readonly at: string; /** One sentence saying what is wrong with it. */ readonly message: string; }; ``` A script's mistake: its code, the key (and its place in a list), and one sentence. ## `Answers` *type* ```typescript export type Answers = Readonly>; ``` The answers of a dry run, by node address or visit path.
